Jill Wente strives to be the best Realtor® any buyer or seller will ever work with in Spring Texas. Here's what a few of her clients have to say ....

Bill H.

Jill Wente recently sold our home in Spring Creek Oaks in Spring Texas that had been a difficult listing. I would not sell a home with any other realtor besides Jill Wente. Why? Jill is a Five Star realtor. One has to perform at the top of their profession on a consistent and lengthy basis to receive such a designation. Jill has done so and received this award year after year after year. At our consultation Jill offered two transformative suggestions for our home. She continued to propose ideas that led to the sale of our home. Her work ethic was exceptional. Her advice with negotiations and closing was all we could ask for and resulted in us getting our asking price. Trust Jill.

Jill Wente came highly recommended to us when it came time to sell our home in Spring Texas. She was immediately like a best friend coming alongside to support us in every aspect of the process, while never losing sight of the importance the sale of our home played in our retirement. She is a fantastic Realtor with a professional business approach coupled with a winning personality. She was keenly aware of the state of the Spring Texas real estate market and in our neighborhood of Cypresswood. Her efforts brought us to the closing table in the least amount of time with the highest possible financial return on the sale of our home. Jill saved us money by knowing exactly what we needed to do in updates to sell the house. When our home went live online, we saw how Jill had made it sparkle with her staging expertise, lifestyle video, photos and marketing verbiage. Her accounting proficiency really shined in helping us analyze the multiple offers, guiding us in making the best business decision and in concluding the final negotiations.

I'm a Real Estate Agent in Cincinnati. Agents know how to choose other agents. We know top performers. We know what to look for in another professional. When my dear clients told me they would be moving to the North Houston Area, I started my search for their Houston agent. I short-listed ten top-performers and Jill Wente was a stand-out in every metric. She quickly responded to my text/email inquiry and was warm and personable on the phone. Jill Wente was a dream to work with and made our mutual client's long distance move seamless and easy. As a twenty-five year real estate professional, Jill has my respect and my recommendation as the best agent in North Houston to work with.
